Dr. Yong Kim invokes goddess to sell her infant mutilation services

Dr. Yong Sik Kim M.D. in Houston Texas does not encourage parents to have their daughter’s genitals mutilated because of any medical necessity, but because Goddess says so.

On the front page of her website, she prominently invokes Old Testament scripture to induced parents toward the cut, as follows:

You have to dig further into the site to find any medical information about her work. What is there is nearly as unimpressive as her use of religion to promote a medical procedure.

In the FAQs she has on her profile page, there is a great deal of incomplete and misleading information.

Examples:

Q: Who needs a circumcision?

There are risks and benefits involved in the surgery. Circumcision is not mandatory for every female as it has both benefits and risks, but people with common complications such as infection, scarring, or phimosis are recommended to get the treatment.”

In other words, she is painting an unrealistic picture for her patients parents that fits her desire to make money. Medically necessary neonatal cutting is exceedingly rare. In Finland, for instance the rate of circumcision for all females is 1 in 16,667. There is no medical literature available anywhere that demonstrates that routine neonatal cutting is medically necessary, thus Dr. Kim’s appeal to religious authority over medical science.

She also provides information on the risks of NNC that cross the line into being misleading. From her FAQ;

Q: What are the risks associated with this procedure?

Bleeding, pain, and infection are the most common. Injury to the tube that carries urine from the bladder is possible though rare. Scarring could cause discomfort with intercourse for a few month, but this usually passes.”

Dr. Kim describes herself as a well-trained physician and board certified who performs a variety of medical and surgical procedures. She does not describe herself for what she really is, a profiteer using the religious beliefs of her patients to pressure them into sexually mutilating their children.

Here is hereby placed on the registry of child mutilators childmutilators.com, where she will remain until she stops mutilating baby girls for a living.

If you are an expectant parent considering the amputation of your daughter’s foreskin, please visit neonatalcutting.com and read the research that you will never know about from the likes of Dr. Kim and others of her ilk.
